We can’t sell you any schnapps but we can certainly tell you how to make it . . . using Zaide Reuven’s Esrogim of course . . .

You will need:

3 Zaide Reuven’s Esrogim

Add remaining vodka and stir until clear. Close jar and store in a cool dark place for 6 weeks. Filter through cheesecloth to clarify.
